In this qualitative study I use narrative inquiry to learn about the stories of school leaders working towards ensuring that all students have the opportunities to succeed. I have situated my inquiry at the borderlands of narrative inquiry and critical race theory. This study looks to merge the valuing of the individual life (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000; Connelly & Clandinin, 1990) with the theoretical lens of critical race theory (Crenshaw et al., 1995; Delgado & Stefancic, 2012; Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995). Whereas Clandinin and Rosiek (2007) recognize the existence of tension(s) between these two research methodologies, they nevertheless reaffirm that narrative inquiry “traverses borderlands.” In short, this paper desires to enrich the

When I was only a little girl, I had been told that true beauty came from within. Yet as I grew up, I noticed that looks mattered. From their attractiveness, race, age, or gender, anyone’s image was always up for scrutiny. Under those circumstances, I grew up thinking that if people were to judge me based on my appearance, that I should judge them the same way. Though, as I became older, I at some point learned that how a person looked wasn’t always in their range of control. A person simply isn’t born with the choice of picking what they look like, nor are they born with the choice of having a genetic disorder or disease. In that case, I believe that nobody should be defined purely based on what they look like.
